Vaporware? Time will tell, but it sounds like you way too risk averse with such a small sum. Are you the sort of cautious person that takes out a default swap on your insurance company, in case you have an accident and your insurer goes bust? Given that Kickstarter (and Larian) is just about the only hope for RPGs, I'd happily take one dud for every one that turns out well.

I usually don't go for stuff like Kickstarter - but man, I've got to say I really believe in this project and in this team. So I had to add my name as a $140 backer to support this and for that sweet cloth map!

Congratulations, Obsidian, on a tangible validation of the good work you do. Well deserved. I hope on this project you remain focused on your strengths: high-quality writing and characterization. While I would've preferred turn-based combat or a system based on actual turns, so every turn could be an auto-pause condition, I hope you put some real thought into your encounter design, so this game is more tactical than the disappointing Blight springing from the ground in DA: Origins, for example. It already sounds like you're putting more thought into character development than Origins, which will be much appreciated by me, at least.

And congrats to all of us, who hopefully have something truly special in store.

I'm with you there; for my taste, I would include Bethesda and Bioware too, and many others.

That does remind me though I need to reach out to thomas and see how things are going.
